Aava

The cream wolfess slunk easily through the land, the land of the humans. She recognized a couple scents easily. The one played around as acutely in her brain as she was sure it was daylight. At this, she licked her wolven lips, running that tongue over her fangs. She longed for the blood of a human again. It's been a while...
With a twisted grin, the she-wolf made her way through the area of the wilderness, taking in the new scents. Oh yes, she'de make them fear her. She would be known, just as she had so long ago. She had family and all that, but she didn't care. The word meant nothing to her anymore.
Quickly coming to a halt, she lowered onto her belly, skillful with everything she did. Then her narrowed eyes washed over the land, searching for what would be her first victim through dark slits. No Esprit was here to stop her.

Fox

Fox smelled somebody who was not part of his family. A stranger. He scouted the area, as if he thought it was his job. He stopped stiff when he saw Aava. "You!" He barked. "You're the one who attacked the man!" Like a coward, he ran into the house, barking frantically.

Nicole/Fox

Fox ran back, barking. "My master has a gun so you'd better watch what you do." He warned, with a puppy-like attitude. Nicole saw nothing from her vantage point. She thought she'd get a better look, so she climbed up into one of the many deerblinds that scattered the area. She still couldn't see what Fox was worried about, but she kept an eye out...

Aava

Aava did her best to remain hidden for as long as she could, but by the time she knew it that mangy little pest had appeared and went to give her presence away. She only offered him a silent snarl, baring those glistening yellow-tinted fangs of hers at him. In a way it was good, he would lead the humans right into her little trap.
As he ran off, she prepared herself in the brush, staying well hidden from view, even when the first human came from the house and climbed into what appeared to be, to Aava anyway, a big home on sticks. However, she wouldn't let anything fool her. No one knew she was there. Yet.
Just then, mustering up all the power and strength she could, the wolfess propelled herself out of the bushes and trees, dashing straight for the strange hut looking thing that Nicole was in. She tried running right under it first, where the human's vision would probably be obstructed if she didn't change positions all the time. And there she stood, snarling and growling, saliva dripping savagely from her maw and tipping her pointed fangs. Her fur was bristled all the way down her spine.

A closer inspection of the wolfess would indeed give an unusual impression, besides her extreme behavior toward everyone. The wounds from her run in with the human known as Eli were still there, quite visable, though her fur had since growing around them. She still had the mark on the side of her head from the rock, where the blood had been dried but never worm away. It was visable, having slightly soaked her fur first. And then the stab wound on her upper shoulder. The mark was there, clear as day, right where the metal of the blade had pierced her tender flesh. It had left a scar and a very small puncture-looking mark behind. Her ribcage? It was a bit achy from the rock, but hindered her none. She was a mess, and here she was, back for more. And she wouldn't leave until she had to be dragged away, or something happened to her. That was how Aava's mind worked, and she did her best to think things over in the messy state she was in.
She easily crouched beneath the deerblind then, and looked around as though nothing was bothering her. But her actions were wrong.

Raisa and Jatano

The pair of German Shepherd arrived just as Aava slipped underneath the place Nicole stood.

Jatano snarled, coming alongside Fox, "See where it went?"

Raisa, her guarding instinct coming in as well as the little training she had recieved from the police, followed Nicole and stood protectively in front of her master, teeth bared and growling. "Whoever you are, leave now, or we shall be forced to attack!"

Nicole/Fox

Normally, Nicole would not harm an animal. But this was different. This was a matter of life or death. She cocked the rifle and tried to aim at Aava. But before she could do so, the wolf was under the deerblind. "Fox...don't make a move." She said quietly, then raised her voice. "HEEL!" Her words were directed at Fox, as the corgi would be much more likely to lose a fight against a wolf.

Fox stiffened up when he heard his owner's command. He didn't even dare to look at Jatano as he spoke. "She's under the tower." He whispered.

Nicole slowly pulled a walkie-talkie out of her pocket. "Get out here now." She said calmly. The last thing she wanted to do was show fear. "The wolf followed us." She put the walkie back, then kept an eye out for the wolf.

Aava

The wolfess' memories of how she got her wounds remained with her, and forever would. The thoughts of what the humans had done to her before struck her hard, and she wouldn't let her family down now. There were too many humans and simply not enough room for the wolves. Humans had harmed her through her family, and now she could repay them.
Snarling like a savage, she raised her stuck-out banner and lowered her front end, making sure she was securely beneath the blind. She knew how things worked. She had never been in such a position, with everyone against her, but she was ready to make so adjustments. She was the crazy Aava, after all. So with that wide-eyed glare, she bared her fangs at each canine around here. Which would dare make a move first?

Daggar

Daggar saw the commotion. Then she spotted the wolf, one of her own kind. She immediatly took action and sprang towards them, hackles raised, teeth bared. She let out a deep menacing snarl. "go" she snalred at the other.

Fox

Fox gasped when Daggar attacked. "You fool, what are you doing?" He exclaimed. "Do you not know who this is?" He had forgotten his owner's command and attempted to grab Daggar by the tail to hold her back. "Wait until Jake comes! He's the alpha!"

Daggar

Daggar turned and nipped the small dog on the ear to get him to let go "I know who this is, I am not afraid of her either" she snarled pure fury in her eyes. "Any wolf comes onto this property and threatens must answer to me" she continued snarling at the other wolf. Her tags thrashed violently from side to side.

Aava

Aava gave yet another snarl, feeling her blood begin to boil with her own rising fury. Humans. Disgusting creatures that had never done anything but harm her and her family. She wasn't about to listen to some puny pet, either.
She was entirely silent, or at least until Daggar began talking. "Back off, pathetic pet, you." she sneered out through a twisted half grin. She didn't care if the whole pet nation came after her. This was her time to shine.

Dakota/Austin/Kiki/Tomcat/Hal

After leaving the site of an injured dog, the small group of cats continued through the property. Austin paused when he heard the canines. He moved closer, keeping an eye on all of them. A low growl arose from his throat when he saw the human. But what really stuck out to him was Aava. Why is everyone ganging up on the wolf? He thought, then turned around to relay the news to his friends.

"Guys. There's a wolf. And a human. And some dogs that appear to be the human's pets. They're all attacking the wolf. I think we should help it." He said, directing his attention to Dakota, who assumed the role of leader. "Help the wolf?" The cougar asked. Austin nodded. Dakota seemed to be looking into another world as she thought about this. "Fine." She growled, moving in.

The group followed. Tomcat hissed at Daggar, who seemed to be doing most of the attacking. "Hey, puppy! Over here!" He yelled, arching his back. This was the first part of their plan...

Daggar

Daggar snarled ",b>I am no pet I am a wolf just like you, and I have no intetiion of letting you harm any of these others" she bared her razor sharp teath. When she was called she just swished her tail, not willing to take her eyes off the other wolf for even a second.

Aava

Aava's eyes gleamed with a hidden power when all of the large cats showed up. At first, she was struck absentmindedly, but then shook herself out of it. A brisk but low growl arose from deep within her throat, wondering what these felines were doing here. She could handle herself. Her crazy self knew she could, but inside, something was telling her 'no'. However, she never listened. It was that tiny but distance voice that she always listened to.
Then her eyes turned back to the canine before her. A wolf like her? No one was like Aava. "Then you're out of place, wolf pet." she stated eerily, for the sheer pleasure of ticking someone off.

Nicole/Jake

Nicole looked down at the dogs. "Dag! Heel!" She exclaimed. Just then, she heard a voice come in on her walkie-talkie.
"I can see you in the tower. Don't climb down. I'm on the deck."
Nicole turned around to see her brother aiming a rifle at Aava. He could not see the camouflaged cats from where he was.

"Don't shoot! You might hit the husky!" Nicole yelled. At her request, Jake lowered the weapon. "Hey dogs! Come!" He called. If he was going to have a chance to hit the wolf, he needed his allies out of the way.

Aava

Aava's auds twitched at the distance sound of the walkie talkie above the blind. Wondering what it was, she looked around, and luckily noticed the human a ways off. He was aiming one of those no good rifles at her again. She remembered him as well, although her memory hadn't been too great for anyone else then. She saw this as her chance. This 'wolf' wasn't getting away without a fight.
Snarling wickedly, the wolfess burst from under the blind, her limbs carrying her as fast as lightning toward her destination: Daggar. Leaping half way, her jaws opened wide, aiming for any part of the other canine's body to keep her from leaving.

Daggar

Daggar emmediatly snapped her jaws up and grabbed for the throat of the other, this should be an easy grab beacause the thraot is coming right down on her. She had gotten a glimpse of the rifle, little did the other know if AAva had not lunged Daggar would have stepped infront of her and blocked her from the rifle, she did not anyone to get hurt.

Nicole/Jake/Fox

Jake slammed his fist down on the railing of the high deck. "Nicole, get your stupid dog out of the way or I'm shooting it!" He yelled. The woman's eyes widened. She did not doubt for a moment that her brother would shoot Daggar. "Go, dog, go!" She exclaimed frantically. It could now be seen that she showed fear.

Fox yelped. "Go, Daggar! Jake called you! You have to GO!" He barked.

Aava

Aava could hear the commotion going on around her, and it made her muscles twitch with excitement. Adrenaline coursed through her veins as she came upon the fae. As her jaws saught out the other's shoulder, what little fur and flesh that was on her neck had been snagged. Nothing at all serious, just some skin and pelt. She's probably have a bald spot now.
Snarling through clenched fangs, she then went to curl her neck around as best as she could to try to latch onto the canine's shoulder or side again, whil also hoping to slip away from the grasp. However, it felt tight, and she doubted it. But she was Aava, and Aava didn't fear.

Daggar

Daggar ignored them, she did not want any of them to get hurt, besides it was too late now, the other wolf had lunged and was coming towards her. They were now both underneath the structure.

Daggar

Daggar smiled through tightly clanched teeth. she felt warm blood seep into her mouth, she had broken skin, suddenly she felt jaws close around her shoulder, she did not let go however, for she had been trained to "feel no pain".

Nicole/Jake

"Bad dog!" Nicole scolded Daggar. "GO!"

Jake sighed, raised the rifle, aimed at Aava and fired. He didn't care if he hit the disobedient mutt. It's her own fault, he figured. Who wanted a dog that didn't do what her owner told her to?

Aava & Avril

Aava smirked as she herself got a mouthful. She began to thrash her head as much as she could, being as vicious as possible, while still thoroughly enjoying it. She loved nothing more than ripping others to shreds, and with this occupying her mind, she barely gave any thought to the small pain within her neck.

Just then, another wolf was on the scene. However, this one was bigger and thicker than Aava. She was a white hue with black on her sides, and light brown eyes. This wolfess dashed over the ground as fast as her paws would take her, crying out for her mother. Just as she neared them, she happened to cross right in the bullet's lane, and felt it tear across her fore leg-- no, through it. Then it tore through the other side and continued through the air. A sharp yelp came from her maw, and she toppled head over paws.

Aava was startled at this, but didn't have much time to react before she felt the wind of the bullet wave at her. She was out of the way luckily, thanks to her daughter, yet couldn't be sure if the thing hit her attacker or not. She held on with her life, though, growling the whole time. Then she realized it had, and she only continued to thrash her dial back and forth. She wanted to hear the squeal of pain.

Daggar

Daggar suddenly felt a sting in her back right leg, then she realized what it was, she had been shot, the human had shot her because she could not move out of the way because she was being held by the other. Oy ve.

Daggar

Daggar went with the movement, this made it so there would be no effect then she pulled her head free and leaped up planning to land on the others back, ignoring the whole that was now in her leg.

Nicole/Jake/Fox

Nicole gasped. "You idiot! You shot the dog!" She exclaimed. Jake yelled at her. "It's her own stupid fault! She should have listened the first time! Dummy." He then raised the rifle again, and fired another shot at Aava.

Fox yelped. "We told you to move, you fool!" He cried.

Daggar

Daggar snalred in pain as she leapt in front of the bullet "tell him to stop shooting at her!" she howled at fox "this is not his fight I can handle it" the bullet had hit her in her front shoulder. She turned back to the other and again lunged.

Fox

Fox growled. "SHUT UP!" He snapped at Daggar. "Jake is the alpha, so you have to listen to him or face the consequences! And it is his fight! This is his land that he's in charge of!"

Aava & Avril

Aava had to release as the canine blocked the next bullet, but instead of sticking around to get another attack in, she spun around and dashed for her daughter. Coming up to her side, she turned her dial to the human holding the rifle, and felt a whole knew pained anger shock her brain. He would pay.

Avril was lying there in a crumpled heap, blood oozing easily from her wounded limb. She had her jaws clenched tightly together, trying to rid herself of the pain.

Daggar

Daggar did not reply "Fine, but I am going to take every bullet he shoots"

Daggar

She then turned and ran to the other wolf teeth bared and eyes peeled for another shot.

Nicole/Jake/Fox/Eli

Now Daggar was just as much of an enemy as Aava was, in both Jake and Nicole's minds. Jake continued to fire at Aava.

Fox snarled viciously. "You are a fool, you know that?" He snapped. "You are making yourself just as bad as the enemy by disobeying the alpha. I won't care if he kills you."

Eli soon ran over, taking in the sights with fear and anger. "Your dog's a dud, Eli." Jake said. "Get her out of the way." Eli clapped his hands. "DAG! COME!" He commanded, just as a soldier would.

Aava & Avril

Aava gave another snarl, running away from the bullets with ease. She could feel herself begin to tire, but she wasn't out yet. She was far from that. She only grinned evilly to herself as the dog disobeyed. How funny. She had to pity the pet.
Just then, she noticed Eli. Him! Get him! she seemed to command herself, wheeling around and charging him head on. She remembered this human, and now he would feel her wrath once more.

Avril simply layed there, her side heaving up and down lightly now with each breath.

Daggar

Daggar had been taking in every bullet, and she was now dripping blood from bulletwounds all over, but when Eli called her name she emmidatly froze and ran over to him.

Daggar

Daggar saw the other wolf comming for Eli she emmidatly lunged at her not caring if she died she would not let this wolf get anywhare near the human.

Eli/Jake

Eli smiled when Daggar ran to him. Jake yelled at the older man. "Your dog didn't come when I told her to, or when Nicole told her to. She's a disobedient mutt." He said angrily. Eli looked down at Daggar, disappointed. Dog pound? He thought. He knew that a disobedient dog could become dangerous later on. He learned that the hard way during his childhood. "Sit." He commanded, thinking of what to do with her...

Daggar

Daggar was about to obey him when she saw the other wolf comming for Eli she emmidatly lunged at her not caring if she died she would not let this wolf get anywhare near the human.

Aava

Aava snarled as she spotted the dog coming for her out of the corner of her eye. She could feel her inner side come out, and with the loudest snarl she could muster up, she changed course and lunged right at Daggar, taking her in a jaw lock, before trying to jerk her dial downward and take Daggar's head with it.

Eli

Eli tried to grab Daggar's collar. "HEEL!" He commanded. The dog would have to prove herself to him, by obeying!

Daggar

Daggar stopped in her tracks alowwing the wolf to drag her down, she felt her skin rip and tear in all different directions, soon the blood begand to pur out, that was it, she was done, she had listened to him, but for what she did not know. She collapsed to the ground with the other wolf still clamped onto her.

Austin

Austin smirked. "Go wolf!" He cheered. His eyes widened when he saw the tall human. Attack was the first thought that went through his mind. He suddenly leapt out of the bushes, toward Eli.

Daggar

Daggar saw the newcomer she looked to Eli. She stood up painfully blood dripping from her and prepaared to attack both wolf and cat if she had to. but she waited for a signal.

Aava & Avril

Aava backed away from the dog then, snarling viciously at both her and the human. This human she knew. She wanted to haunt him, give him nightmares. Surely he remembered? Even if he didn't, Aava would be after him like white on rice. She stood there, fangs bared, her neck oozing warm crimson blood.

Avril had since managed to stand, and was painfully stepping nearer to her mother, wary of the humans. She had no clue what they were.

Eli/Austin

Eli was knocked to the ground by the stealthy cat, but easily pushed him aside. He picked up a stick, as always, and readied to strike if he needed to.

Austin was a smart kitty. He knew what sticks were for. "You think that's intimidating?" He growled. Just to confuse Eli, he sat down on the ground and washed his face carelessly. "Don't make a move..." He whispered to his friends.

Eli lowered his defenses when Austin behaved oddly. "What?..." He said to himself, watching the cat, unaware of the dangers that lurked nearby...

Daggar

Daggar barked at Eli "you idiot what are you doing!!!" she leaped up and bounded to Eli's side. She let out a terrible snarl.

Eli

Eli frowned when Daggar disobeyed once more. "I swear, once more and you're goin' to the pound!" He snapped. His eyes remained on Austin, though. "Go to Jake! Go Dag!"

Shadin

The tall black stallion had heard the commotion from where he was prancing around, and came to the sound of his human using a seemingly screeching tone. He came barreling through, toward his human, eyes saught out for the attacker. His eyes were wide as his flaring nares took in the scent of blood. A squeal escaped him, as he reared and slashed at the air with his hooves.

Daggar

Daggar flinched, why was he doing this, why would he not let her help. She turned and walked towards Jake but on her way she suddenly sensed another cat, in the brush right next to her, she froze,

Kiki

Kiki was the cat in the brush. "Hello?" She asked timidly. "Who are you?"

Daggar

Daggar snarled "you better stay where you belong cat because I sense a Foe behind you" she could see two large eyes behind the smaller cat, she stayed frozen.

Kiki

"What?!" Kiki cried. "You're one of them, aren't you? Those who are attacking the man! Stay away from me!" Her words were sincere - she often feared her large companions.

Daggar

"I am protecting the man!!!" she replied, could this cat not see the bullet holes? Daggar shook a bit then continued walking she was almost to Jake when she sensed three more presences this time all smelled of big cat and that they were not on her side, She again froze.

Kiki

"Really?" Kiki asked, relaxing a little. "Why are you bleeding then? Who shot you?"

Daggar

Daggar ignored the cat. "come out and show yourself" she snalred.

Slade, Chained and Slash

A low laugh came from the bush, followed by two more. Suddenly three huge cats leaped from the bush, snalring and snapping at Daggar. They landed silently and surrounded the wolf. "This should be easy enough" said the biggest one. The other two just laughed.

Kiki

Kiki cocked her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were blind." She said, still in a timid voice. "But I'm right here in front of you."

Eli/Austin

Eli smiled when Shadin arrived. "Not so high and mighty now, are you kitty-cat?" He chuckled. He laid a hand on the stallion's neck. "Calm down, horse." He said quietly.

Austin looked up at Shadin. "Oh, look! The teacher's pet!" He laughed. "Dakota! Now!" Suddenly, the cougar pounced at Shadin, jaws wide.

Three brothers

The biggest of the three cougars pounced on Daggar, the other two lunged at her back and throat. There suddenly came a terrible howl of pain. And the ingling of tags ceased.

Shade

The German Shepherd arose from behind the cats that threatened Daggar. "Leave off of her, kitties." He snarled. "Or else I'll hurt you."

Shadin

Shadin only calmed a bit as Eli placed a hand on him. His heart was racing, just about as fast as his legs as he galloped through the field. He was watching intently for any signs of attack, but when the feline suddenly leapt out at him, he gave another rear, lifting higher this time, avoiding the strike. Luckily he had backed away so the cat would only hit ground. Then he thrust his fore legs downward, aiming to bash his hooves upon the feline with a mighty squeal.

Dakota

Dakota snarled when her attack missed. "Fool!" She spat. "You're not wise to evade me!" She gasped when Shadin came down, and quickly scrambled out of the way. She spun around and went for his throat.

Daggar

Daggar emerged from underneth the cougar "you stay away dog, You are no match against them" she turned and lunged at the cougar but he swiped his paw, smacing her in the face then he growled and the other two leaped onto her she dissapeared into the mass of fur.

Three brothers

Soon one of the cougars collapsed to the ground, dead and the other ran yowling back into the woods blood dripping from his face, rubs and back. The last cougar, the biggest turned to Daggar. He pounced and landed directly on top of her. Her knees buckled and she was buried by him.

Shade

Shade growled. "Nobody tells me what to do." He snapped, launching himself at the cougars.

Shadin

Shadin snorted at the feline's words, his eyes narrowing. He had never seen such a cat before, only the small ones that you often saw striding through the stable. Even those could be vicious, he had found, but he had easily befriened them as a foal. Now this.
Having been bred for racing and speed, and not fighting, the cat reached her mark; his neck. An small trickle of blood eased out, and at the feel of pain, Shadin suddenly threw his dial upward and reared once more, using his fore legs and hooves as a means of scraping the feline off of him, while also trying not to choke.

Dakota/Austin/Kiki/Tomcat/Hal

Dakota was pushed off, and soon recovered. She stood up dizzily. "Gang, we're leaving!" She called. Her attention was then on Shadin again. "We're coming back, you know. With more recruits." Then the group left.

Three brothers

Shadin

Shadin, limbs holding him up shakily, watched as the felines all turned and left. He gave an uneven snort then, not being able to cease his shivering. However, most of his attention was on what damage could have been done to his neck. There were teeth marks of course, with some blood dripping down from them, leaking down as far as his chest. It reminded him of the barbed wire, and he could only shudder. Standing there by himself, auds twisting alertly, he shook his head and then lowered it.

Daggar

Daggar twisted herself around and grabbed the neck of the cougar she clamped down and ripped. He fell to the ground and she squirmed out from under him then she beagn running to Eli she wanted to make sure he was ok. When she spotted the big cat she snarled and went for it.She stopped suddenly thoguh remembering what Eli had said so she snarled to the cat "leave him alone you ugly thing"

Daggar

As the group left Daggar suddenly felt somthing dig into her back, she turned her head to see what it had been and found the larger cougars claws had been dug into her back. She looked up at Eli then let out a terrible howl and collapsed to the ground.

Nicole/Jake/Eli

Jake jumped over the railing of the deck, gun in hand. Eli ran to the dog. "Stop!" Jake commanded. "That dog is wild." Eli sighed and raised an eyebrow. "Prove it." He replied. Jake narrowed his eyes. "First she threatened you. She stared at you! Do you not know what that means? Then she attacked, after repeatedly being told not to. She ignored orders from the boss." He explained. Eli stepped back. "You're right. She's crazy!"

Nicole climbed down the deerblind. "Jake? I-is it safe?" Jake nodded. Nicole stepped closer. "I think you were right. The dog isn't suitable for a pet. I-I'm sorry." Jake looked down at Daggar. "I'll take her to the vet, but then she's going to the wolf center." He said, reaching down to pick the dog up and carry her to the vehicle. Once he reached the jeep, he set the dog gently in the back seat on some towels. Then he drove to the vet.

Daggar

Daggar did not move. The pain surged through her body. When she was laid on the towels she looked back at Eli, didn't stare, just looked and whimpered. Soon enough the towles were stainded red in blood.
